Event Description

You’re invited to join your garden communicator colleagues for a GWA Connect Meeting during the Northwest Flower & Garden Show, Friday, February 9, 1:30PM - 2:30PM, at the Washington State Convention Center, YAKIMA 2 Room. Come share your latest accomplishments, industry topics, and concerns. What professional areas would you like to improve this year? How can GWA help you do that? Bring a brown bag lunch, or buy one ahead of time at the nearby Wild Rye Café Bakery—on the same floor—before the meeting starts.

Registration is FREE and both GWA members and non-members are welcome. Please apply by Thursday, February 8 so you’ll be on the list at the door. We’ll meet in the Yakima 2 Room, on the main level of the Conference Center, 705 Pike St—across the street from the NWFGS entrance. There is no access to the show floor from the meeting room. Those with wristbands, tickets, or handstamps will cross Pike St. to enter the show. For a media pass, apply to Barry Bartlett, barry@barrybartlettgrouppr.com.
